Best Netflix movies: Hubie Halloween

Release Year: 2020

Hubie Halloween might not be one of the “best Netflix movies,” but it’s Halloween, and there’s no Netflix movie that screams “Halloween!” like Hubie Halloween does.

Outside of Murder Mystery, there’s no doubt Hubie Halloween is Adam Sandler’s best Netflix movie. Fans are hoping that Hubie Halloween 2 is in the works, but we know it’s not coming to Netflix this year.

Hubie Halloween tells the story of Hubie Dubois, who loves Halloween but loves keeping the town of Salem safe more. Every year, Hubie cries wolf on Halloween and is pranked by the townsfolk. No one takes him seriously, but when there’s an actual murder and mystery on Halloween, Hubie is the only one trying to help.

If you need a movie to watch with the whole family this Halloween, Hubie Halloween is the movie for you. Not everyone will enjoy it, but it’s definitely worth a watch. ‘Tis the season after all!
